The Mission of the Crowder College High School Equivalency Program is to assist migrant and seasonal farm workers or their children to transform their lives into an opportunity for higher education, a long-term vocation or military career, by earning their high school equivalency diploma.

How It Works

Enter post secondary education (a college such as Crowder) or other training programs, or be placed in career positions or the military.

The HEP program is funded by the U.S. Department of Education Office of Migrant Education and it operates at Crowder College under the Vice President of Student Affairs Migrant Programs.

Classes begin with a simple assessment to find your level in reading, math and language. You will then have guided study practice in those areas.

You attend classes and work at your own pace and have access to computers, books and personal instruction. This will help you prepare for the GED.

Once you are ready to test. The program will help you fill out all the paper work and pay all the fees. Then you simply take the exam, pass and change your life by starting a better job or attending an University.
